McCall's Pumpkin Patch

We started Fall off with a bang by going to McCall's Pumpkin Patch. It was recommended to me by two people so we thought we'd check it out. We went opening day (Sep 22) and there was no one there, it was so nice! It's a great place for kids so we went with the Cortez family. This farm is great. It has tons of activities for kids plus Halloween decorations you can buy. It's in Moriarty, about an hour's drive East. It's huge! 320 acres and family owned.  We went on a hayride to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins. Of course, Ryan got the biggest one he could find. They charge according to size but it was still only a few dollars. They have a pedal track, jumping pillow, duck races, and a giant slide for the kiddos. There's also a huge fort for the kids to play in.

"animal alley" so cute!

"goat bridge" 

you can actually put feed on those conveyor belts and the goats will climb up the ladders to get the food. crazy! They're very spoiled and followed us everywhere begging for food.

"bunnyville" 

can you see the black bunny?

This was such a fun place. We did the "little kid" corn maze. The adult haunted one wasn't open yet.

Just keep swimming..

We had guests at our pool! It was so fun to play with the kids. Bev is quite the swimmer and was so proud that she could do it herself. I spent most the time pulling Jane around in the water.

The 24th of July

This year for the Holiday weekend we went camping with Ryan's family. Jessica was able to bring up the boat so we enjoyed two full days on Deer Creek Reservoir. It was really cold in the mornings, then all of a sudden it would heat up. The water was pretty cold, but it was fun anyway. We went tubing and wake boarding, then spent Saturday on the jet ski's. We all got SUNBURNED and right now Ryan and I are peeling like crazy! This was our first time wake boarding. Ryan was never able to get up, and every time I got up I would fall, but I did get up.

Enjoying a swim and getting Janessa on the wake board.

Jessica and Ryan on the boat ready to go!

I had never been fishing before and wanted to go so we went fishing Friday night. We didn't catch anything, but I learned a lot!

Notice Ryan's taped finger. That's from when he cut off the tip of his finger while slicing an onion. Probably needed stitches, but we just super glued it instead...
